I actually kind of liked season one of Angel. Obviously seasons 2-5 are better but season 1 held it's own I thought.

It was really ridiculous to me until the Faith storyline came into play. There were some okay moments (Doyle dying, the crossover with Buffy), but bah. It was just too much of a standard detective show for a while instead of being about a vampire with serious issues dealing with his past.

I can agree about that. The whole monster of the week thing gets boring. So many shows do it. Angel was bland throughout almost all of season 1 but I still found it entertaining. Maybe I am looking at the show through rose tinted glasses though and thinking back to how I liked season 1 because I liked the rest of the series so much.

So I just finished Arrested Development. The episode where Oscar throws Lucille the anniversary party is definitely the hardest I've ever laughed at a TV show, especially the very last bit where Buster has Franklin.

I'm currently working through my first rewatch and it is absolutely funnier the second time around. Gob is just one of the best comedic characters of all time.
